Are my JSON Web Tokens logged on your servers?
Absolutely not. The decoder runs 100% locally in your browser. We never transmit, store, or log your JWTs or the secret keys used to verify them.

Developer Tools 0.0(0 Reviews)
The Offline JWT Decoder & Generator is a critical security tool for backend developers and security engineers working with JSON Web Tokens. JWTs are the modern standard for stateless API authentication, but analyzing them often involves pasting sensitive session tokens into third-party websites, posing a severe security risk. This toolkit natively implements base64url decoding to parse the Header and Payload of your JWTs entirely within the DOM, ensuring your tokens are never logged or intercepted by a remote server. Furthermore, the tool allows you to manually verify cryptographic signatures using HMAC SHA-256 algorithms executed locally via the Web Crypto API. Inspect claims, check expiration timestamps, and debug authorization flows with the absolute confidence of zero-server architecture.

Common Questions About JWT Decoder & Generator
What does the JWT Signature do?
The signature is a cryptographic hash of the header and payload, signed with a secret key. It proves that the token was generated by a trusted server and that the payload hasn't been maliciously altered in transit.
Can this tool decrypt encrypted JWTs (JWE)?
Currently, this tool supports decoding standard Base64URL encoded JSON Web Signatures (JWS), which are the most common format. It does not decrypt heavily encrypted JWE payloads.
